BERRY PLASTICS GROUP

What BERRY PLASTICS GROUP does

Berry Plastics Group no longer operates as a standalone entity following the April 30, 2025 all-stock combination with Amcor plc (NYSE: AMCR), through which Berry Plastics Group was absorbed into the combined Amcor/Berry Global packaging enterprise. As part of the combined company, the legacy Berry Plastics operations contribute to a global leader in consumer and healthcare packaging with US$23 billion in annualized sales, 75,000+ colleagues, 400+ manufacturing locations, and operations in 40+ countries.

The combined entity manufactures rigid and flexible plastic packaging, specialty cartons, closures and caps, healthcare and medical packaging, thermoformed containers, and packaging equipment including form-fill-seal systems. Core technology platforms include AmPrima recycle-ready flexible packaging, AmSky blister systems, LiquiForm bottle manufacturing, CleanStream lightweighting, Moda vacuum packaging, Amfiber paper-based packaging (European patent granted 2024), and Calibrate healthcare packaging with ISO 13485 certification. End markets served include food and beverage, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, personal care and home care, beverages, pet care, and beauty — with named enterprise customers spanning Cadbury (Mondelez), Nestle, ALDI, L'Oréal, Unilever, Kraft Heinz, GSK, Reckitt, Stonyfield, Ocado, and Voslauer.

The business operates a B2B enterprise model with quote-based pricing determined by volume, product specifications, and customer contracts; revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of packaging products, complemented by packaging equipment sales and professional services such as design, technical service, and material science expertise. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with global account teams supplemented by regional distributors and a packaging solutions portal for existing customer ordering.
